But the only (political) downside for Dems is that if he gets even dollar one he would likely take it and declare victory.michael viqueira3 weeks ago:&nbsp &nbspMonday Jan 28 - 6:06pmAlso, POTUS declaring a national emergency would anger and divide Republicans, a political plus for Dems. That, together with the fact that there is zero reason for Dems to agree to “wall” money after winning last round, makes me think is by far most likely outcome on 2-15. https://t.co/rfYaUrtJI4michael viqueira3 weeks ago:&nbsp &nbspSunday Jan 27 - 2:57pmOn the morning after the night before...Sifting through the wreckage of a record shutdown on MSNBC https://t.co/eHu7MndMuQ

Mr. Stone was not a campaign aide or adviser. Nowhere in the Presidential Daily Diaries from 1972 to 1974 does the name "Roger Stone" appear. 2/2michael viqueira3 weeks ago:&nbsp &nbspFriday Jan 25 - 4:11pmHave to believe a presidential “emergency declaration” is easily the most likely outcome Feb 15. Once POTUS put that on the table the motivation for real negotiating on an obviously difficult - if not impossible - issue goes away. Congress usually takes path of least resistancemichael viqueira3 weeks ago:&nbsp &nbspFriday Jan 25 - 2:25pmThe president seems to be trying to represent this as a political victory and leave the impression that there is an agreement to fund the wall.
